WAR PANoRAMAs.

Description of the Process and Progress ol
Battle Picture Painting.
The central platform is, OF course,
the standpoint from which visitors will
view the panorama-and therefore the
artists are obliged to go to it frequently
as the painting nears completion, in or
der to observe the effect and progress
Of their work. This, too, is the place
of conference, and despite the signs OF
mo Admittance" within and without,
visitors are frequent and usually well
come. These visitors are often veteran
soldiers who took part in the action
represented and who often make help
ful suggestions. The army stories that
are told on the central platform, when
old soldiers meet and discuss the old
days, would, if collected, make a pro-
digious volume. The floor of the plat
form is chalked and rechalked with
diagrams, some referring to the pano-
rama itself, but more to illustrate oc-
currencesupon other fields. The strong
pine rail- surrounding the platform is
penciled all over with kindred decora-
tions, while scraps of paper, upon
which are memoranda of incidents and
q variety of data, as we'll as names and
addresses, are pinned to the convenient
timber with thumb tacks. The art
lists paint steadily, every Individual
being mainly occupied in perfecting
his own work, though never hesitat-
ing to ask or extend aid in some special
direction. One artist, for instance, has
an excellent figure of a mounted ofIi-
Ger, all complete excepting the por-
trait, n photograph for which is pinned
to the canvas. While this artist goes
to strengthen line of battle, another
one will rapidly paint in an admirable
portrait for the incomplete figure. Soon
another brush is busy with the horse,
while still another artist calls for some
special saddle and Bride to be brought
to the platform that he may paint the
trappings. Now, look at the back OF
the photograph which is pinned 10 the
canvas--a faded carte de visite of
young officer; upon slip OF paper we
read the following: "Colonei K, now
on General Sherdan's staff; then Cap
tain General Thomas staff, H AZ (mean-
ing section II, square AZ of the pan
orama);' French cap. blouse, Captains
straps staff-dark blue trousers, gold
cord, cavalry boots, staff sword, Nc
Clellan saddle; Shabrack- black horse;
see sketch" This instance will give
an idea of the way in which facts are
preserved when a panorama is painted
by artists who conscientiously strive to
make of the work a great historical
painting. st. Nicholas.

The enemies of Gen. Buckner are

lion of property in Chicago and only
$4,000 worth in Kentucky. This is
arrant nonsense. 1t is nobody's basi-
ness what kind Of property Gen.
Buckner invests his surplus capital
in orwhere his investments are made,
The fact that he has the business ca
pacity to look after fortune of that
magnitude is one of the strongest
reasons why he should be selected TO
administer the affairs of Kentucky.

The Louisville Times is fattering
itself that Louisville is TO prosper
from the misfortunes of other cities,
under the workings of the Inter
State Commerce Law. Itatakes this
cheerful view of the situation:
SIN the debates upon the Inter- State Com
merce Bill In Congress the chief assaults OF the
enemies OF the measure were directed against
the long and short-hanl sections. 1t was con
tended that II that clause WAS left In the bill
through freight rates from the Mississippi 10
the Atlantic seaboard would be advanced to
meet the local rates between those sections, and
that the Inevitable result would be to add TO
the cost OF moving crops from west TO east and
conveying merchandise from east TO west. N
the assumption should be verified 1t can only
result In such a revival Of business among the
steamboat lines on the Mississippi and Ohio
that It will eliminate IN boom, and such n re-
viyal will build up st. Louir, Louisville and
New Orleans, which cities will absorb the grain
business now centered at Chicago. IL the
through rates, as at present established by the
railroads, are not disturbed, the effect will be
TO destroy the tobacco markets Of Clarksville,
Henderson, Greensboro and 9TH

At High Water Mark.

BISMARCK, March "a. The water fell
two feet yesterday but is rising again to-
day. The water in Washburne is ten feet
above the high water mark of 1881, while
here it is not quite up to that record. This
shows a gorge between here and Wash
burne, and when hat ten feet of water
comes it will make the flood surpass any
previous records. There is a prospect for
the Heart river to break about the time
the upper gorge breaks, and if it does
Mandan will be aloat.
The steamer Tompkins, which was
crushed in the ice near Bowie to-day, was

company, and its ruin Just as navigation

Pacific shops at Mandan are still flooded.
FERGUS, FALLS Mimi, March 24-Red
river rose rapidly last night and this morn
ing was the highest ever known. The
cause OF the rise is not known, as the ice
is still running solid. Water is running
over the banks and cutting a channel
between Wrights' Beehive and Gable
Tower. Men are at work protecting the
dams. Il. j. Nelson, head miller at
Park mills, had a narrow escape from
drowning while opening the flush boards
on the Gu~tterburg dam. He was carried
part way over, but was seized before he
went under the ice.
RED FALLS, Mimi, March 24.-An
immense ice gorge, a mile wide and six
miles long is coming this way, sixteen

CHAMBERsBURG, Pa. March 24.-The

attempt at lynching last night but not
known until to-day. Frank Guyer, a
painter, alleged to have forsaken his wife

with another woman. Last night u man
called him out. Instantly a crowd of
masked men surrounded him and com
menced beating him. After pounding
him they asked him to promise to return
to his wife. He refused. when they in
formed him they would tar and feather
him and hang him from the
railroad bridge. They started in that
direction with him. Guyer fought hard
and finally succeeded in making his es-
cape, seriously injured to the house. No
clue to the perpetrators of the deed.
